Hayley Aviva Silverman uses a range of media in her sculpture, painting, video and performance work and her artistic approach reflects on handling memories and preserving thoughts and materials in the past and present.Healthis derived from one of the artist’s series in which figures of people and animals and various objects are presented alongside deceptively realistic looking plastic foods in small bowls cast in synthetic resin. With their virtuous titles, the rich ingredients of these ‘soup sculptures’ make a complex reference to socially critical issues such as the material and non-material values of our society.
